Rivet

The Journal of Writing That Risks features literary work that takes risks with form and content, revels in the unexpected; and rewards with imagination and insight. Rivet showcases diverse voices from established and emerging authors, whose work might be called experimental, surreal, hybrid, genre-bending, or uncategorizable. Rivet is published online three times per year by Red Bridge Press.
